The recently concluded WHX Lagos and WHX Labs Lagos 2025, held from June 2 to 4 at the Landmark Centre in Lagos, provided a compelling look into the future of healthcare and diagnostics in West Africa. Formerly known as Medic West Africa and Medlab West Africa, the rebranded events brought together innovation, access, and collaboration under one unified platform.
Vinno, global manufacturers of cutting-edge ultrasound systems and exclusive partners of PPC Limited, Nigeria’s leading engineering and infrastructure development company with a strong presence in the healthcare sector, took center stage with live demonstrations of their advanced medical equipment. Their exhibition at WHX Lagos 2025 highlighted the vital role of diagnostics in improving maternal and neonatal outcomes, particularly in underserved regions.
Here are five major takeaways from the event:
*Integrated Healthcare and Lab Innovation*
The co-location of WHX Lagos and WHX Labs Lagos created a unique platform that brought together over 7,000 healthcare professionals and 500+ exhibitors. The seamless integration of healthcare and diagnostics allowed attendees to explore a range of innovations, from imaging to lab equipment and digital health solutions.
*Emphasis on Local Priorities and Learning*
With more than many conference sessions and CPD-accredited trainings, WHX Lagos focused on local healthcare challenges such as infectious disease control, maternal and neonatal care, and healthcare leadership. PPC’s active engagement in these sessions reinforced its commitment to building local capacity through education, training, and access to high-quality diagnostic tools.
*Spotlight on Sustainable, Scalable Innovation*
Sustainability took center stage at this year’s exhibition, with exhibitors showcasing solutions tailored for emerging markets. Vinno’s compact, power-efficient ultrasound systems, distributed by PPC, stood out as accessible innovations for clinics and hospitals in both urban and remote settings.
*Elevating Women in Healthcare Leadership*
The EmpowerHER Women in Healthcare Forum sparked conversations around gender equity in health leadership. With a strong focus on mentorship, inclusion, and policy advocacy, the session resonated with PPC’s efforts to create inclusive spaces and empower women across its healthcare divisions.
*Public-Private Synergy Is Essential*
WHX Lagos made it clear: the future of healthcare in West Africa depends on strong public-private partnerships. PPC Limited and Vinno demonstrated this synergy by offering reliable, tech-forward diagnostic solutions while advocating for collaborative investments in healthcare infrastructure and training.
As West Africa’s healthcare landscape continues to evolve, WHX Lagos 2025 affirmed the need for innovation, collaboration, and locally relevant solutions. For PPC Limited and Vinno, the event was more than an exhibition, it was an opportunity to reaffirm their shared mission: strengthening healthcare through access, education, and next-generation diagnostic tools.
